Transcript: Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan," Oct. 11, 2026
The following is the transcript of the interview with Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin that aired on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" on Oct. 11, 2026.
Good morning, and welcome to Face the Nation. We have a lot of politics to discuss, but we begin with a quick update on Hurricane Isaias' aftermath. Four people died when the storm made landfall on Friday night, leaving hundreds of thousands without power. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin joined to discuss federal support needed.
Mullin explained that officials from affected states were kept informed as pre-positioned assets were deployed into every state. FEMA is standing by to respond to life-saving situations, while the Coast Guard is out in the inner waters and the Mississippi's mouth, rescuing boats rather than individuals.
Regarding officer-involved shootings, Mullin confirmed there have been at least 30 incidents under the Trump administration. He explained a recent incident in New York City where an ICE officer shot a man with a dangerous criminal history. The officers gave lawful commands to Oscar, who then accelerated away. Despite precautions taken to prevent a chase, tragedy struck when the five-year-old passenger was not taken out of the vehicle.
Mullin said the FBI and HSI would investigate, with the footage to be released once the investigation was completed.
